Invisalign Braces

If you’ve ever wanted straighter teeth, but didn’t want to go through the hassle of having traditional braces then Invisalign may be the way for you. Invisalign are clear braces made of durable plastic that are used to gently straighten your teeth over a period of time.

Compared to traditional braces, there are many benefits to Invisalign. With Invisalign there is no need for metal brackets or wires. Since there are no metal brackets or wires, it is easier to care for your teeth and keep your smile healthy. The healthier your teeth are, the healthier you’ll be.

Benefit Of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

Invisalign trays are removable, so you can take them out when you need to. This is a great advantage Invisalign has over more traditional braces; since they are removable, you can take the trays out when you need to eat or drink. Also because they are removable it makes it much easier to maintain a higher standard of dental care – you can brush and floss just like you normally do.

Traditional braces are immediately noticeable, and those of us who are a little more self conscious have always found this to be a problem. This however is not an issue for those who choose to use Invisalign, as Invisalign is made from comfortable clear plastic it is less noticeable than traditional braces and many will probably not even know you are straightening your teeth.

Here at the Gentle Touch Dentistry, we are proud to provide Invisalign as an option for those who want to have a straighter, more beautiful smile.

Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear “aligners” are produced. Each “aligner” moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then is replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
